Who better to "cheat" the rules of typical folding pocket knife design other than world renowned Knife Designer Ken Onion, whose new Swindle design flows from tip to tail with the slightest of uphill curve. It innocently tricks the eye at first sight, but once in the hand the functional subtleties become apparent. The frame lock mechanics and flipper style opener are neatly tucked into an aluminum handle, and the hollow ground, modified wharncliffe blade moves with ease thanks to the smooth IKBS pivot system. For carry, Ken went the extra mile with a clip design flowing from the tail end, back over the spine. The tension lever securely clips into the pocket and "nests" the knife for comfort. If you are seeking a classy, slim everyday carry knife that "bends" the rules in your favor, the Swindle is a good bet.

Here's one of those knives that is real tough to pass up, thanks to a solid "no nonsense" design. Need a new knife to call your "Ol' Reliable"? This straight forward folding knife is both fundamentally sound and physically fit for today's knife enthusiasts. CRKT® put the utility driven, drop-point blade shape into a progressively functional handle design complete with finger grooves and slight palm swell. The Handles are G-10 with blackened stainless steel liners. The patented Fire Safe® thumb-stud opener secures the blade at the ready for when it's needed, and their patented OutBurst® assisted opening system makes blade opening quick. The Endorser employs a locking-liner for effective lock up and it's also easy to close when needed. Some knives don't need any hard sell to stand out...they endorse themselves.
